About

Can Framis is the latest Fundació Vila Casa
museum. Opened in April 2009 it has around 300 works on show dating from
the 1960’s onwards by a wide range of artists born or living in
Catalonia. Temporary exhibitions are held at the Can Framis Espai A0.

Can Framis, a factory built at the end of the 18th
century, was originally owned by the Framis family. Over the years it
fell into disuse, becoming a monument to the industry of the area.
Today, as a Museum of Contemporary Painting, it is an
ideal place for the contemplation of art located in Poble Nou, now
converted into the technological district of Barcelona and renamed 22@.
The conversion of the building was undertaken by the BAAS architectural
practice.
